Golf gifts for any budget
After you've made your list and checked it twice (in case Boo Weekley was keeping score), the hard part is coming up with the perfect gift. Whether you plan to splurge like a Tour pro or need to watch your wallet like a marshal, we've got some great ideas that are sure to bring a smile to the face of the golfer in your life.
Polarized Oakley Radar Pitch
$255, oakley.com
The brighter it gets, the more you'll love Oakley's high-tech lenses. A liquid-infusion process eliminates the haze and distortion commonly associated with polarized lenses, while a Hydrophobic coating makes sweat and water bead off without leaving streaks. And when it's really hot, fear not: the nose piece actually gets stickier the wetter it gets, so no matter how hard you swing it won't slip. A variety of lens colors are available to ensure you'll see all your eagles and birdies no matter what the conditions. Complete Holiday Gift Guide
